Lua Cheia


Lua Cheia
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Ana de Hollanda; Toquinho



Ninguém vai chegar do mar
Nem vai me levar daqui
Nem vai calar minha viola
Que desconsola, chora notas
Pra ninguém ouvir

Minha voz ficou na espreita, na espera
Quem dera abrir meu peito
Cantar feliz
Preparei para você uma lua cheia
E você não veio
E você não quis

Meu violão ficou tão triste, pudera
Quisera abrir janelas
Fazer serão
Mas você me navegou
Mares tão diversos
E eu fiquei sem versos
E eu fiquei em vão

Mon Seul Refuge


Mon Seul Refuge
Composer(s): R. Cocciante; Gaïo Chiocchio;
Pierre Delanoë; François Bernheim
Performer(s): Nicoletta



Quand la cité s'endort à coup de somnifères
Quand il ne me reste plus rien à faire
Que d'écouter les bruits de l'enfer
Qui reviennent
Quand les nouvelles du monde se font grises
Au lieu de penser à faire mes valises
Changer de religion, fuir les églises et mes chaînes
Alors mon refuge, mon refuge, mon refuge
C'est toi

Je n'ai jamais rien trouvé de plus excitant
Que cet instant de vie à cœur battant
Où je me jette vers toi en oubliant
Mes problèmes
Et je n'ai plus besoin de soleil ni de lune
De piano, de guitare ou de plume
Je connais le secret de la fortune qui est la mienne
Mon seul refuge, mon refuge, mon refuge
C'est toi

Oublie mon refuge, mon refuge et mon seul juge
C'est toi
On peut bien m'étouffer de fausses embrassades
Me noyer de musique et de mascarade
Tu es ma passion et pas ma xxxxxx
Mon élève
Et si quelqu'un me parle encore de toi
En bien, en mal ou en n'importe quoi
Mais si depuis longtemps tu n'es plus là
Dans mes veines
Oh mon refuge, mon refuge, mon refuge
C'est toi
Comment peut-on savoir ce qu'importe le jour
Du côté jardin ou du côté cour
Tu seras mon premier mon dernier amour
Et je t'aime
Car mon seul refuge, mon refuge
Mon seul refuge, c'est toi

El Mensaje En La Botella


El Mensaje En La Botella
((Adapted from: Message In A Bottle (The Police) - 1979)) Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): Ekhymosis - 1998



Hoy es un dia mas indiferente al mundo
esperando una respuesta que no llega
Vengo de la tierra de los que se queman
vengo desarmado, vengo con mi entrega

Estoy enviando una señal
estoy enviando una señal
Para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
El mensaje en la botella, el mensaje en la botella

Traigo en mi interior el fuego de una hoguera
de un pasado que no apaga su sirena
Vengo de la tierra de los que se queman
vengo desarmado, vengo con mi entrega

Estoy enviando una señal
Estoy enviando una señal
Para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
El mensaje en la botella, el mensaje en la botella

Para nada sirve andar sin un destino
para nada sirve undirme en el olvido
si al final nada va a quedarme
solo las cenizas perdidas en el viento

Estoy enviando una señal
estoy enviando una señal
Para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
para que el mundo lea
El mensaje en la botella, el mensaje en la botella
El mensaje en la botella, el mensaje en la botella

Estoy enviando una señal

Ghost Town (Cheap Trick)


Ghost Town
Performer(s): Cheap Trick



Well the streets are all crowded
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound

Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put down

Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be half a million miles away
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love

Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town until you come back to me
oo, oo, till you come back to me

Well I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?

Though the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be

There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby, nothin' feelin' right
Darlin', I wanna leave this town
Don't wanna be around

I'm gonna leave this town

Mon P'tit Soldat


Mon P'tit Soldat
Performer(s): France Gall



Mon petit soldat est mort
Il jouait du tambour
Mon petit soldat est mort
Il me parlait d'amour

Il jouait à l'amour à la guerre
Il mettait des fleurs à son fusil
Mais il n'a pas écouté mes prières
Et j'ai pleuré quand il est parti

Mon petit soldat est mort
Il jouait du tambour
Mon petit soldat est mort
Et je l'aimais d'amour
Il jouait à l'amour à la guerre
Mais il parlait de la mort en riant
Il est tombé tout près de la rivière
Où l'on jouait quand nous étions enfants

Il jouait à l'amour à la guerre
Et je l'entends encore toutes les nuits
Il vient flâner le long de la rivière
Et m'embrasser quand je me suis endormie

Mon petit soldat est mort
Il jouait du tambour
Mon petit soldat est mort
Je l'aimerai toujours

la la la la ...

Ghost Dance


Ghost Dance
Performer(s): Patti Smith



We shall live again, we shall live

What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye aye
Mannah from Heaven from the most high
Food from the father, tayi, taye aye

We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance

Peace to your brother, give and take peace
Tayi, taya, it leaves two feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave up the Earth, one turn around

We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance

Stretch out your arms now tip and swing
Rude up thy bird, tayi, tayi
Threw out your shoe over the soil
Dust off the words that shaped from the tale

We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance

Here we are, Father, Lord, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread, ghost of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, cry of your cry

We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again

What is it, Father, in your eye
What is this wisdom, eyes of God
That makes me feel just what I need
You used to fly me the way to speed

What is it, Father, holy that night?
What is it, Father, that moves to the right?
What is it, Father, that is waiting in Heaven?
What is it, Father, that shapes from your hand?
What is it, Father, that makes me spin around?
What is it, Father, that brings me down
What is it, Father, you can't tell what I like
What is it, Father, I just ride into space
What is it, Father, I can tell you one night
What is it, Father, I can tell what I like
What is it, Father, are you into shape
What is it, Father, are you calling today
What is it, Father ...

Lowdown


Lowdown
Composer(s): David Paich - Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs



Baby's into running around
Hanging with the crowd
Putting your business in the street talking out loud
Saying you bought her this and that
And how much you done spent
I swear she must believe it's all heaven sent
Hey boy you better bring the chick around
To the sad truth the dirty lowdown

(Who I wonder who) taught her how to talk like that
(Who I wonder who) gave her that big idea

Nothing you can't handle nothing you ain't got
Put the money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that ole lovelight and turn a maybe to a yes
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess
Hey son better get back to town
Face the sad old truth the dirty lowdown

(Who I wonder who) put those ideas in your head
(Who I wonder who) yeah
Come on back down little son
Dig the low low low low lowdown

You ain't got to be so bad got to be so cold
This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old
Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that
This running with the Joneses boy
Just ain't where it's at
You gonna come back around
To the sad sad truth the dirty lowdown

(Who I wonder who) got you thinking like that boy
(Who I wonder who)
(Who I wonder who said who I wonder who)
Oh look out for that lowdown
That dirty dirty dirty dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder who ohh ohh)
Got you thinking like that

Mon Pot' Le Gitan


Mon Pot' Le Gitan
Composer(s): Jacques Verrières; Marc Heyral
Performer(s): Yves Montand
and various other artists



Mon pot' le gitan c'est un gars curieux
Une gueule toute noir, des carreaux tout bleus
Y reste des heures sans dire un seul mot
Assis près du poêle au fond du bistrot
C'gars-là une roulotte s'promène dans sa tête
Et quand elle voyage jamais ne s'arrête
Des tas d'paysages sortent de ses yeux
Mon pot' le gitan c'est un gars curieux
Mon pot' le gitan, c'est pas un marrant
Et dans notre bistrot personne le comprend
Comme tous ces gars-là il a sa guitare
Une guitare crasseuse qui vous colle le noir
Quand y s'met à jouer la vieille roulotte
Galope dans sa tête, les joueurs de belote
S'arrêtent et plus rien... on a mal en dedans
Mon pot' le gitan c'est pas un marrant

Mon pot' le gitan un jour est parti
Et Dieu seul sait où il ballade sa vie
Ce type là était un grand musicien
Ça j'en étais sûr, moi je l'sentais bien
Le tôlier m'a dit qu'on est venu l'chercher
Un grand music-hall voulait l'acheter
Mon pot' le gitan il a refusé
Un haussement d'épaules et il s'est taillé?

J'ai eu l'impression de perdre un ami
Et pourtant c'gars-là ne m'a jamais rien dit
Mais il m'a laissé un coin de sa roulotte
Et dans ma petite tête j'ai du rêve qui trotte
Sa drôle de musique en moi est restée
Quand je pense à lui, m'arrive de chanter
Toi sacré gitan qui sentait l'cafard
Au fond ta musique était pleine d'espoir

Mon Petit Bonhomme


Mon Petit Bonhomme ((German Version: Lieber Kleiner Mann (by Dalida)) Composer(s): Guy Motta - Pascal Sevran Performer(s): Dalida



Mon petit bonhomme
Tu veux être un homme
Et pourtant moi je voudrais tant que tu restes un enfant
Mon petit bonhomme
La vie chez les hommes
C'est un jeu souvent dangereux
Mais le gagne qui veut

Le monde n'est pas fait que de rêve et de soleil
Et j'ai tellement peur pour toi
Quelqu'un pourra-t-il t'offrir un amour pareil
À celui que j'ai pour toi

Le temps s'en va
Et quand on le voit passer
C'est trop tard pour l'arrêter

Mon petit bonhomme
Tu seras un homme
Avec tout ce que ça comprend
De bon et de méchant
Mon petit bonhomme
Ni rien, ni personne
Ne pourra t'empêcher de faire
La vie que tu espères

Un jour par tes bras qui seront te retenir
Toi tu lâcheras ma main
Mais je te verrais quelquefois me revenir
Quand tu auras du chagrin

Mon petit bonhomme
Si tu m'abandonnes
Mon petit bonhomme
Je te le pardonne
En attendant que tu grandisses
Chantes la vie mon fils
En attendant que tu grandisses
Danse la vie mon fils
Chante la vie mon fils
Danse la vie mon fils
La vie est à toi

Getting To Know You


Getting To Know You
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein
Performer(s): Gertrude Lawrence;
and various other artists



Getting to know you, getting to know all about you
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you, putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
My cup of tea

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day

Sharing your spirit
Sharing your tears and your laughter
Hoping it goes on
Hoping it lasts endlessly
Getting to know you, putting it my way
But sweetly
You are completely
My friend you see

Telling you my dreams
Getting to feel that you're with me
Making our own fun
Knowing we know how to play
Now that I've met you
Suddenly I'm mostly happy
I've found a new pal, beautiful and true
Yes I'm talking about you
Friends Today

Mijn Vader Zei


Mijn Vader Zei
French & Italian Title:
Mon Père Disait; Mio Padre Diceva
Performer(s): Liesbeth List
(Originally performed by: Jacques Brel)



Mijn vader zei: de noordewind
Verstuift het hoge duin bij Scheveningen
Bij Scheveningen, zo hard m'n kind
Dat je niet weet of 't stuift
Of dat de zee het voorwaarts schuift
Het is die wind
Die met zijn adem-noord
In de ogen boort
Van man en kind
En die zijn klokkenspel van noorderkou
Doet tinkelen in hun ogenblauw

Mijn vader zei: de noordewind
Doet de aarde kantelen rond Gent en Brugge
Rond Gent en Brugge blaast noord de wind
En woelt de aarde bloot
Om 't groot belfroot van Gent en Brugge
De meisjes hier
Geeft hij de kalme blik
Van stadjes oud
En winterkoud
Hun breekbaar haar klost hij met stramme hand
Tot Brussels kant, tot Brussels kant

Mijn vader zei: de noordewind
Scheurde het oude land tussen Zeebrugge
Tussen Zeebrugge blies noord de wind
En scheurde 't oude land
Tussen Zeebrugge en Engeland
En Londen is
Niet meer als voor die vloed
Het bolwerk dat
Brugge behoedt
Maar Londen werd een buitenwijk van Brugge
Verzonken in de Noordzeevloed

Mijn vader zei: de noordewind
Zal straks mijn zielloos lijf ter aarde dragen
Hij neemt mij mee, de noordewind
En draagt mij tot aan zee
Begraaft me aan de rand van 't strand
De noordewind
Maakt mij straks kapitein
Van 'n wering die
De golven breekt
De noordewind maakt van mijn lijk een dijk
Die jullie warme tranen breekt...

Getting Some Fun Out Of Life


Getting Some Fun Out Of Life
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Joseph A. Burke
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



My Baby's like me
Wants to do this, wants to do that
And so we do just as we please
We hate to be told
Not to go here, not to go there
Because our sentiments are these....

When we want to love, we love
When we want to kiss, we kiss
With a little petting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

When we want to work, we work
When we want to play, we play
In a happy setting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right thing
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Wending our way along

But when we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever


Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever
((French Version: N'est-Ce Pas Étrange? (Claude François) - 1975))
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Ivy Hunter
First release by: Four Tops - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I remember yet before we met
When every night & day I had to live the life of a lonely one
I remember meeting you
Discovering love could be so true
Shared by 2 instead of only one
When you said you loved me (when you said you loved me)
& we could not be parted (we could not be parted)
I said I built my world around you (built my world around you)
I'm so thankful that I found you (so thankful that I found you)

'Cause lovin' you has made my life sweeter than ever
I've never felt like this before
Lovin' you has made my life so much sweeter than ever

Each night I pray we'll never part
For the love within my heart grows stronger
From day to day
As best I can, I'll always try
To reassure & satisfy
'Cause I'd be lost if you went away
'Cause I really need you (really really need you)
& I need for you to need me too (need for you to need me too)
I have built my world around you (built my world around you)
I'm so thankful that I found you

'Cause lovin' you has made my life sweeter than ever, yes it has
Lovin' you has made my life so much sweeter than ever

'Cause I really love you (really really love you)
Girl, I'm thankful that you love me too (thankful that you love me too)
I have built my world around you (built my world around you)
& I'm truly glad I found you

'Cause lovin' you has made my life sweeter than ever
Oh it has, yes it has
Lovin' you, since I've been lovin' you, my life's sweeter than ever
Since I'm lovin' you, life is sweeter than ever ...

Mon Père Disait


Mon Père Disait
Dutch & Italian Title:
Mijn Vader Zei; Mio Padre Diceva
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Originally performed by: Jacques Brel
Covered by various other artists



Mon père disait
C'est l'vent du nord
Qui fait craquer les digues
A Scheveningen
À Scheveningen, petit
Tellement fort
Qu'on ne sait plus qui navigue
La mer du nord
Ou bien les digues
C'est le vent du nord
Qui transperce les yeux
Des hommes du nord
Jeunes ou vieux
Pour faire chanter
Des carillons de bleus
Venus du nord
Au fond de leurs yeux

Mon père disait
C'est le vent du nord
Qui fait tourner la tête
Autour de Bruges
Autour de bruges, petit
C'est le vent du nord
Qu'a raboté la terre
Autour des tours
Des tours de Bruges
Et qui fait qu'nos filles
Ont l'regard tranquille
Des vieilles villes
Des vieilles villes
Qui fait qu'nos belles
Ont le cheveu fragile
De nos dentelles
De nos dentelles

Mon père disait
C'est le vent du nord
Qu'a fait craquer la terre
Entre Zeebruges
Entre Zeebruges, petit
C'est le vent du Nord
Qu'a fait craquer la terre
Entre Zeebruges et l'Angleterre
Et Londres n'est plus
Comme avant le déluge
Le poing de Bruges
Narguant la mer
Londres n'est plus
Que le faubourg de Bruges
Perdu en mer
Perdu en mer

Mais mon père disait
C'est le vent du nord
Qui portera en terre
Mon corps sans âme
Et sans colère
C'est le vent du nord
Qui portera en terre
Mon corps sans âme
Face à la mer
C'est le vent du nord
Qui me fera capitaine
D'un brise-lames
Ou d'une baleine
C'est le vent du nord
Qui me fera capitaine
D'un brise-larmes
Pour ceux que j'aime

Getting Ready For The Heartbreak


Getting Ready For The Heartbreak
Composer(s): Edwards Lockie Jr.; Larry Weiss
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
Long John Baldry; Chuck Jackson



Closed up all my windows, so no-one could see
even told the mailman to pass by me
Cause my lover is coming today
and I know what he's gonna say
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak

Last night he saw me walking
It was much to dark to see
the guy I was holding hands with meant nothing to me
But now my tears are falling like rain
and I'm starting to feel the pain
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak

There's no use in carrying it on
pretty soon our love will be gone
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak
So I'm getting ready for the heartbreak
